Paeonia lactiflora

Paeonia lactiflora is a classic, much-loved perennial, known for its large, luxurious blooms and beautiful, full foliage. These premium plants produce generous, layered flowers in shades of white, soft pink and rich red, bringing a sense of elegance and drama to any outdoor space.

Flowering in late spring to early summer, peonies are a true seasonal highlight. Their impressive blooms and gentle fragrance make them a favourite for both garden planting and cutting.

These larger, well-established plants offer immediate impact and are an excellent investment, returning year after year and improving with age.

Position: Full sun to light partial shade.
Watering: Water regularly during dry periods, particularly while establishing.
Soil: Fertile, well-drained soil. Avoid waterlogged conditions.
Care: Support may be needed as flowers develop. Cut back foliage in autumn. Avoid moving once established, as plants prefer to settle.

Good to know: Peonies can take a year or two to fully establish, but once settled, they are incredibly long-lived and reliable. These premium, larger plants are more likely to flower sooner than smaller sizes.
